Mumbai cop Dyaneshwar Ganore was a part of the first team to investigate the Sheena Bora murder

Mr Ganore was a part of the first team to investigate the sensational case of Sheena Bora, who was murdered in 2012 allegedly by her mother Indrani Mukerjea. Sheena Bora's step-father and Ms Mukerjea's husband, former media boss Peter Mukerjea, is also accused of a role in the crime.

The murder was discovered three years later, when remains of her body were found following the questioning of Indrani Mukerjea's driver, who had been arrested for some other offence. The murder captivated the nation for months as shocking details emerged in the investigations, first by the Mumbai police and then the CBI.

An FIR or First Information Report has been filed against unknown persons.
